Brush's Cole rolls through home tourney

'Diggers win duals with Heritage, Frederick

Brush's Conrad Cole conquered five consecutive foes while leading the Beetdigger wrestlers through their annual home dual invitational at BHS on Saturday.

The 'Diggers doubled up Frederick (42-21) and beat Heritage (32-27) with a lineup still not at full strength due to another deep state football playoff run. Yet Cole was clearly for some hammerin' time as he beat every 113-pound opponent by five points or more except one. Frederick's Jesse Ortiz battled him to a 6-4 decision.

Freshman Alec Petterson was also impressive while earning three 120-pounds, and one of his two defeats was a 19-16 battle. Veteran 126-pounder Beau Rocha scored 16 points in two off his three wins, while returning state medalist Elijah Mora (132) tallied 16 and 13 points during two victories.

The Beetdiggers host a pre-Holiday Invitational on Saturday (9 a.m.) with Fort Morgan among teams scheduled to compete.
